Google Releases an API for Their Database

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-a-good-idea dept.

Ben Wills writes "Yahoo! announced that Google Released an API last Thursday. "The service, launched Thursday, is called Google Web APIs, for application programming interfaces. The tools let noncommercial software developers "query more than 2 billion Web documents directly from their own computer programs," according to Google's Web site. For now, the service is free." Google just keeps pushing the limits."

    Why doesent /. just put a small icon up under the story for when a site gets hammered. it couldent be that hard to write the code to test the site, and would mean that i dont have to sit here and hope it loads. i saw this mentioned before but with/. mirroring the site, which would lead to copyright issues, so maybe this makes more sense? Comments?

    The moderation made me laugh even more. Perhaps Redundant mods should be getting +1 instead of -1? Seems to be the vogue around here.

    I guess I'm waiting to have my account bitch-slapped back to 1, or 0. Lot's of people don't understand my type of humor/rhetoric/slang. Look back at the commodore article. I was one of the first posts, but used the word commie. If any of you remember, commie was slang for commodore. Still, even using _well_known_ slang at the time, idiots still mod me -1 troll, or such rubbish.

    The longing I have for the old internet.... It was soo nice.
